Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 Tbsp light brown sugar, more if desired
- dash of salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1 fresh peach, diced
- 1 Tbsp half and half
Tips & Tricks:
- Peaches: Look for ripe peaches at your local farmers market or stand. These will make for the most flavourful outcome. You can use canned peaches too but I would add them after cooking your oatmeal so they stay intact. You can also add some of the peach liquid to the oatmeal either as a syrup on top or when cooking instead of the brown sugar.
- Oats: I like to use rolled oats, they are better for your digestion. They might take longer to cook though. You could use instant oats though and cook this mixture in your microwave to save time.
